grazing contracts & insurance
« on: December 02, 2014, 04:10:28 pm »
I am about to lease a fully fenced field (with access to a tack room) to run a small flock of sheep, and obviously need to get something in writing between myself & the land owner. I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the direction of a decent template for a written agreement/contract. The only one I have found to buy (and am probably looking at the wrong places!!) is a fair bit more expensive than I anticipated.

Also does anyone have any recommendations for reasonable third party insurance?

Many thanks  :thumbsup:

You could try the NFU website for information.  You need to speak to your insurer and decide what you want insurance for - should probably include theft, sheep worrying and damage they could do if they escape.

Weve just insured our smallholding through Stuart benger. It was £200 for the year on the silver package which gives us plenty cover for theft, public liability etc.
